noncompliances inconsequential.1

Potential performance failures of safetycritical equipment, like seat belts or air 

bags, are rarely deemed inconsequential. 

An important issue to consider in 

determining inconsequentiality based 

upon NHTSA’s prior decisions on 

noncompliance issues was the safety 

risk to individuals who experience the 

type of event against which the recall 

would otherwise protect.2 In general, 

NHTSA does not consider the absence 

of complaints or injuries to show that 

the issue is inconsequential to safety. 

‘‘Most importantly, the absence of a 

complaint does not mean there have not 

been any safety issues, nor does it mean 

that there will not be safety issues in the 

future.’’ 3 ‘‘[T]he fact that in past 

reported cases good luck and swift 

reaction have prevented many serious 

injuries does not mean that good luck 

will continue to work.’’ 4

Arguments that only a small number 

of vehicles or items of motor vehicle 

equipment are affected have also not 

justified granting an inconsequentiality 

petition.5 Similarly, NHTSA has 

rejected petitions based on the assertion 

that only a small percentage of vehicles 

or items of equipment are likely to 

actually exhibit a noncompliance. The 

percentage of potential occupants that 

could be adversely affected by a 

noncompliance does not determine the 

question of inconsequentiality. Rather, 

the issue to consider is the consequence 

to an occupant who is exposed to the 

consequence of that noncompliance.6

These considerations are also relevant 

when considering whether a defect is 

inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. 

FCA explains that the noncompliance 

is that the subject vehicles’ tire placard 

label erroneously states the seating 

capacity as seven occupants rather than 

eight occupants, and shows a combined 

occupant and cargo weight of 1,150 lbs. 

rather than 1,240 lbs. as required by 

paragraph S4.3 of FMVSS No. 110. 

NHTSA has reviewed and accepts 

FCA’s analyses and supporting 

documentation that the noncompliance 

is inconsequential to motor vehicle 

safety. FCA has provided sufficient 

documentation that other than the 

placard/labeling error, the vehicles 

comply with all other safety 

performance requirements of FMVSS 

110. If owners were to follow the 

information on the label, there would be 

no risk of overloading the vehicle’s tires. 

While the tire and loading placards 

incorrectly indicate the number of 

seating positions and the calculated 

weight capacity, the subject labeling 

error alone poses little if any risk to 

motor vehicle safety since the number of 

seating positions is readily apparent in 

the subject vehicles. The rear seating of 

the affected vehicles contains six seat 

belt assemblies and provides adequate 

space for six people to occupy the rear 

seats. In addition, all information 

required for maintaining and/or 

replacing the front and rear tires is 

located on the vehicle placard of the 

affected vehicles. 

VIII. NHTSA’s Decision 

In consideration of the foregoing, 

NHTSA finds that FCA has met its 

burden of persuasion that the subject 

FMVSS No. 110 noncompliance in the 

affected vehicles is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, 

FCA’s petition is hereby granted and 

FCA is consequently exempted from the 

obligation of providing notification of, 

and a free remedy for, that 

noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 

and 30120. 

NHTSA notes that the statutory 

provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 

30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to 

file petitions for a determination of 

inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to 

exempt manufacturers only from the 

duties found in sections 30118 and 

30120, respectively, to notify owners, 

purchasers, and dealers of a defect or 

noncompliance and to remedy the 

defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this 

decision only applies to the subject 

vehicles that FCA no longer controlled 

at the time it determined that the 

noncompliance existed. However, the 

granting of this petition does not relieve 

equipment distributors and dealers of 

the prohibitions on the sale, offer for 

sale, or introduction or delivery for 

introduction into interstate commerce of 

the noncompliant vehicles under their 

control after FCA notified them that the 

subject noncompliance existed.

Funding Opportunity Under Supportive 

Services for Veteran Families Program 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Notice of funding availability. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) is announcing the 

availability of funds for supportive 

services grants under the Supportive 

Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) 

Program. This notice of funding 

availability (NOFA) contains 

information concerning the SSVF 

Program, the renewal and new applicant 

supportive services grant application 

processes, and the amount of funding 

available. Awards made for supportive 

services grants will fund operations 

beginning October 1, 2024. 

DATES: Applications for supportive 

services grants under the SSVF Program 

must be received by the SSVF Program 

Office by 4 p.m. eastern time on

deadline is firm as to date and hour, and 

VA will treat as ineligible for 

consideration any application that is 

received after the deadline. Applicants 

should take this practice into account 

and make early submissions of their 

materials to avoid any risk of loss of 

eligibility brought about by 

unanticipated delays, computer service 

outages or other submission-related 

problems. 

ADDRESSES: Information about the 

application can be downloaded from the 

SSVF website at www.va.gov/homeless/ 

ssvf. Questions may be referred to the 

SSVF Program Office via email at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Funding Opportunity Title: 

Supportive Services for Veteran 

Families Program. 

Announcement Type: Initial. 

Funding Opportunity Number: VA– 

SSVF–103121. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance Number: 64.033, VA 

Supportive Services for Veteran 

Families Program. 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

A. Purpose: The SSVF Program’s 

purpose is to provide supportive 

services grants to private non-profit 

organizations and consumer 

cooperatives who will coordinate or 

provide supportive services to very lowincome Veteran families who (i) are 

residing in permanent housing and at 

risk of becoming homeless, (ii) are 

homeless and scheduled to become 

residents of permanent housing within 

a specified time period or (iii) after 

exiting permanent housing within a 

specified time period, are seeking other 

housing that is responsive to such very 

low-income Veteran family’s needs and 

preferences. 

SSVF delivers services using a 

housing-first approach that emphasizes 

permanent housing placement as the 

primary objective. Housing First is an 

evidence-based, cost-effective approach 

to ending homelessness for the most 

vulnerable and chronically homeless 

individuals (see B5_USICH_Housing_

First_Checklist.pdf (va.gov). 

SSVF prioritizes the delivery of rapid 

re-housing services to homeless Veteran 

households. Rapid re-housing is an 

intervention designed to help 

individuals and families quickly exit 

homelessness, return to housing in the 

community, and avoid homelessness 

again in the near term. The core 

components of a rapid re-housing 

program are housing identification, 

move-in and rent financial assistance, 

and rapid re-housing case management 

and services. These core components 

represent the minimum that a program 

must provide to households to be 

considered a rapid re-housing program. 

Applicants should familiarize 

themselves with the Homelessness 

Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Best 

Practice Standards found at
